Dear Sue and Linda,

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the passing of your mom. Clara and I are away down here in Colombia and are sorry that we can´t be with you today. Your mom was always one of my favorite people, always so full of life...friendly, happy and sincerely interested in all of our welfare and progress in life. She did a wonderful job raising you girls and you should always have wonderful memories of her. She was a fighter in her own way and you should always be proud of that. Take good care....Love, Larry

To The Family Of Estelle Jaffee,
May God Bless you all during this time of sorrow. My mom (Barbara Shapiro) worked with Estelle at Albany High School for many years & I know how much she cherished Estelle! Although my mom passed many years ago I still remember your mom and occassionally would run into to her while shopping or running around. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face & was willing to tell us about her family members. I hope you all know how much she loved you. Hold tight to the memories you have of her for they will help you during this time of sorrow. Heaven gained another Angel and those of us left on Earth will miss the Angel that Estelle always was while she was here on Earth. I am sure she is watching down upon all of you and protecting & guiding you from above.
I know the pain you feel in your heart & I only wish I could help take your pain away. Just remember that Estelle enjoyed life to its fullest & she was always happy! You are all in our thoughts & Prayers and we wish you all the best!
With all our love & Prayers,
With our deepest sympathies
Diane & Family

I worked with Estelle at Albany High School for many years. She was dedicated to her job in the North House office. Estelle was the one to see when you had a problem. She was very friendly and always had a smile. Back then, we were family. Please accept my deeply felt condolences.
